Did they seriously expect him to do better with the squad they have?
As a friend of mine wrote:
"Newcastle must be the most religious club in England. They are perpetually awaiting the Messiah. They also believe, despite the complete absence of supporting evidence, that Newcastle is a big club with a right to win trophies. They have won nothing for 50 years. Their last open top parade was probably pulled by a horse". :)
Reading the Newcastle board it must be tough being a fan. To have some idiot making a fool of himself with your club must be hard to take.
Chris deserves better and hopefully will get his due soon.
Newcastle 6 Villa 0
Chelsea 3 Newcastle 4
Newcastle 5 Sunderland 1
Arsenal 0 Newcastle 1
They must be nuts.
Shocking really.
Met CH a couple of times, a real gent.
Joke decision by a joke of of a club.
He's better off out of it.
Manager takes his first permanent job taking over a team that hasn't won anything in years. Wins an immediate promotion back to the top flight as champions with a near-record points tally in his first season and attains mid-table safety once up.
Martin Russell out!
hughton for taoiseach

Alan Pardew is the next manager according to rumour mill.
Sickening but he'll get a decent job in no time. Hopefully for a club that will let him build for the future. I genuinely hope Newcastle get relegated now.
I hope the go down, and theres every chance that they will. And Hughton will be fine, better than that shower will be in the long term, a disgraceful abomination of a club.
Too nice a guy for Newcastle.
In fact too decent for football!!
Chris is too good for that comedy club.
They have made a laughing stock of themselves again.

By 'mutual consent'. And I'm saying absolutely zilch about the newly-created Newcastle job...
so they sacked Hughton to appoint his manager when he was coach at Spurs?
